“Mitsuki: The-In Between” is a documentary that follows Mitsuki, a woman of Japanese and Korean descent, as she embarks on a deeply personal journey to uncover the forgotten history of the Jeju April 3rd Massacre—one of Korea’s most tragic and silenced events. Caught between cultures, languages, and generations, Mitsuki navigates the emotional and historical in-between, tracing the scars of her family's past and the legacy of unresolved trauma. Her search becomes a quiet but powerful act of remembrance, bridging identity and memory, silence and truth. 

After the screening, respondents Roderick Wilson (East Asian Languages and Cultures and History) and Anna Jungeun Lee (East Asian Languages and Cultures) will discuss the film in the context of the “Up Against Erasure” theme and then open up for audience questions.

Film runtime: 47 minutes
Directed by Ho-Geun Yang
Produced by KBS

Cosponsored by the Asian American Cultural Center, the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures, and the Spurlock Museum of World Cultures.
